Fritha

[funnysinthegarden]

for a girl........what do you think?

don't be sorry, I have 2 boys and am not having anymore. Tis a name I am considering for my theoretical girl

It's pretty but it reminds me of frothy!

what does it mean?

Nope

I know a 40-something Fritha.

It's not really to my taste, but then neither is Freya, which is similar, but very popular.

Disclaimer before I offend anyone: The names are both lovely, just not to my personal taste or ones I would choose.

It's Danish, and means protection/peace. (thanks to Danish SIL3!!)

I confess that I have been reading the Snow Goose and the girl in the story is called Fritha. I really like it for my theoretical girl. Maybe I will get another cat.........

I quite like it. It's a nice change from Freya, although as MargaretAtwood said it does sound like frothy.

Prefer Frida

A bit too spitty.

Sea foam

she won't be able to say it 'til she is about 5. Be cute tho'.

Had to comment on this because I knew a Fritha who has sadly now passed away. She was absolutely one of the most beautiful people i have ever met - both inside and out. So I say go for it wholeheartedly! I think she was also named after the snow goose character!

Bumpette - so sad.

I feel terrible saying what I was going to say now..... which is....

It is very, very pretty.

But my sister had a friend called Fritha (also lovely, Bumpette) who had a terrible lisp. She could say neither the "r" sound or the "th" sound, so the name was a real burden for her. It put me off, which is a shame as it is so nice.

Hope the kid doesn't have a lisp.

so, I think my dream girl will, on balance, be called Fritha. I like the seafoam analogy, provided tis not flotsam and jetsam, but nice seafoam like the kind you get when the waves are really rough
